The Sun. — London, England, 1864-12-14 00:00:00

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 14, 1864. We are just now on the eve of anew Parliament, and certainly no one, excepting possibly its own members, will be inclined to regret the decadence of the present one. A general election is sufficiently rare to make it a matter of interest, and the excite ment of political warfare is carried into many re. tired rural districts, and quiet country towns and villages, to most of whose inhabitants it is a matter of complete indifference who holds the seals of office. Bat in the metropolis itself and in the lead. ing cities of the empire the position of parties is a matter of very vital interest, and the influence which a new Parliament may exercise on the Cabinet invests a general election with considerable importance. Just at this juncture, therefore, it is not uninteresting to inquire how our self-governed colonies pass through the same crisis in their in stitutions, and how their constitutional laws, in some respects different from our own, work at such a juncture. If in our own quiet orderly routine world a general election produced a high degree of excitement and contention, we may naturally sup• pose that a young community would be still more moved and shaken by its operation. Yet according to the news from Victoria, however, the molt general election has produced scarcely any excites meat. The public have taken very little interest in the matter, and so great has been the indifference manifested that in many places a second candi date could not be found. It is true that th e triennial return of the elections, which is the rule throughout the colonies for a L o wer House, renders its recurrence less noticeable or importan' ; but other influences have more to do with the unusual quietude. In the first place, there have been no popular questions under discus ivisions o n top i cs such as felon, no party cries or d tithe land question, which at once appeal to indivi dual interests, and arouse the passions of the mul titude. Secondly, the great change which has been brought about in the manner of conducting elec tions in 'Victoria has not only nstric'el the number of candidates and of voters, but it be.s taken away their occupation from the mob orators and adven, turers who trade on popular excitement, and seek their own private ends by influencing the passions of the multitude. A bill was carried during the :act session which considerably altered the face of matterr, and its effects have been seen in the tran quillity and indifference visible at the late election. It is of course desirable that the populace should interest themselves in their own affairs, and the whole merit of parliamentary government is gone, if the indifference of the people prevent them from being fully and fairly represented, But Australia, like all new settlements, has hitherto had to guard rather against the opposite extreme, and therefore the change now:visible is to be accepted as an augury of better things. The riot and die. turbance of a contested election, undesir able and injurious enough in this country, is still worse in a young, untrained community, and, therefore, the Victorian Parliament very wisely provided against the occurrence of any violent dis turbance by a few simple regulations. Instead of a candidate having to go through no other form than getting himself proposed at the hustings, he is now obliged, before he is put in nomination, to deposit the sum of £5O, which is not returned to him un less he can secure one-fifth of the votes polled by the lowest candidate. All empty and factious op. position is thus guarded against, and a system of " dunning" candidates, which was growing common, has been rendered impossible. There are no longer any hustings nominations ; but a nomination paper, signed by ten qualified electors as well as by the candidate himself, is deposited with the returning officers, no speeches being allowed. This does not consort with our old English idea of an election ; but the plan has been found to work well in pre venting riot and disturbance. The electors, too, are put under restriction as well as the candidates. Before a man is allowed to exercise his right of voting—and manhood suffrage has long been the rule in Australia—he must have resided six months in the district for which he claims to vote, he must be able to write his name, and will have to pay a shilling for his electoral right, which is then issued to him. The writing of the name is a good applica tion of that educational test which is everywhere so desirable, and nowhere more so than in a country like Australia, which has need to be well on its guard against the predominating influence of reck less democracy. The general feeling of the respect. able population is unquestionably in favour of constitutional government, and they are therefore wise to put some checks on the action of so mixed an assembly as their masses are composed of. The general effect of the election is expected to be decidedly in favour of the Government, which has promised a reform of the Upper House, a revi sion of the tariff, and a new land bill. Meanwhile, in the neighbouring colony of New South Wales the Governor has just opened the fifth session of the existing Parliament, addressing the members at some length on the condition and prospects of the colony. Two questions are just now especially engaging the attention of the Australian colonies. There is the much-vexed question of transportation from the mother country, the other a local dispute between the several colonies as to the border cus toms duties. Sir JOHN YOUNG announced in his speech that a satisfactory arrangement had been come to between the Government of New South Wales and of South Australia for the collection of duties on goods arriving by way of the River Murray from South Australia for consumption in New South Wales. With the authorities of Victoria, however, no agreement had been made, and the question remains unsettled. The past year has been an nnfavourable one for New South Wales, owing to the severe floods which have inflicted serious damage, and the failure of the harvest. Under these circumstances the Governor warns the mem. hers they will have to provide for a deficit. It is interesting to notice the progress of the colony in the various measures which he commends to their notice, such as railway extension, the improvement of the currency laws, the protection and reforms. (ion of neglected children, the regulation of the volunteer force, and the prevention of the sale of diseased meat. All these questions bespeak a high state of civilisation, and show the kindred sympa. thies existing between the population of the mother country and their energetic kinsfolks in the Southern seas. There are few things more outrageous than and it seems st range th a t suc h tole kidnapping, ration should have been exercised towards the constant recurrence of this infamous practice by the Federals. Constantly as the subject has been men tioned in one way or another, little heed is paid to it by the Government, and neither in words nor actions do they exhibit that contempt for the practice nor that righteous indignation against the perpetrators of it which we surely have a right to expect from those who ars in a position to defend our rights and avenge our wrongs. It has over and over again been cited by Ministers and the members of their immediate following that all that has been done against the Confede derates in the matter ( 4 )f engaging vessels and so forth, was an unavoidable duty which must not be shirked. The interests of nations required the due observance of the laws between countries, and no infringement, direct or indirect, could be sanc. tioned. We hear a great deal of the necessities of the case as regards the Government of Washington, bat it appears to escape the observation of those zealous defenders of transatlantic claims, that an. other country is wholly left out of the question in regard to the enforcement of the rules and regulas dons of neutrals and belligerents ; and that country is no other than England. From first to last our interests have been sacrificed, our claims neglected, our honour tarnished by the course which the:Ame rican war has taken. Of course, properly managed, neither a recognition of the South nor a strict netts trality need have occasioned such misfortunes ; but it is the trifling manner in which the whole affair has been arranged. Hesitation is always injurious to the interests of individuals, but in the case of nations it is fatal to honour and prosperity. It is of no use to disguise the fact, that our present Go. vernment are secretly on the aide of the Federals; for various reasons they are led that way, and the influence of the Manchester school of politicians has exercised a most deleterious effect upon their councils in this, as in other affairs, vital to the interests and reputation :of the country. Had Earl RUSSELL at first boldly spoken out and contrived to let the Federals know that any unfair acts practised upon British subjects would call down upon them the wrath of the country, how different would things have been ? When any one ventures to propose that a decided step like this should be taken, they aro always met with the assertion that care must be taken to prevent the rupture of our friendly relations with foreign Powers, and that above all things wo must avoid doing or saying anything that can be construed into making a casus Belli of an affair, in case of a non-compliance with our demands being resolved upon. This is a glaring error to make in the carrying on of administration, and will assuredly always prove inimical to the preservation of peace ability reported in its t rues t sense, which must signify the will and to prote c t one ' s h onour. A case has recently been which only serves to corroborate former statements of a similar kind, but which is nevertheless nacst irritating to peruse, and leads one to reflect sadly that there ha s b een great and grievous mismanagement somewher e ,f or such th i ngs to come to pass concernin g a B r i t i sh subject, and no notice to be taken of his wrongs. A sailor has returned to Gloucester, his native place, mutilated and disabled for life, through wounds contracted in the Federal service, into which he was entrapped to enter by the most insidious and scandalous means. He was desirous of returning to England, and a man, appearing like a sea.captain, offered to get him an engagement on board a ship bound for this country. The usual course was pursued ; the unfortunate sailor was stupified, and when he awoke to his senses he was in a hut surrounded by soldiers. Remonstrances proved, of course, unavailing; he was declared to be duly enlisted, and compelled to serve in the ranks of the Federal army. Here he received several wounds, and was at last allowed a few weeks furlough. Tie took advantage of this liberty to get on board a ship bound for Cadiz, and from thence he came to London, and has since reached Gloucester, " upon the very day on which his name would be called on the muster-roll of his regiment." Were it not for his wounds, he is far better off than hundreds of others who have shared his fate. They will be compelled to remain in their unwelcome service until the close of the pro tracted war, unless they fill foreign graves, after having expended their strength and wasted their health in a cause for which they have no interest to serve, and for a country which has no claim on them. Mr. COBDEN was very eager and eloquent abuut the " sublime spectacle" of re-electing President LINCOLN ; we wonder if he thinks it a sublime thing for Englishmen to be forced to take a part in the glorious war which is to emancipate the negroes. It is rather inconsistent that force should be employed to procure the services of the troops who are to achieve so wonderful a boon for humanity. It was bad enough to be told to rest and be thankful while Denmark was ruined and our honour compromised, but it is too much to be told to admire the strict neutrality of a course of policy which creates unparalleled misery on a part of our popula tion at home, and interferes with the liberties of our subjects abroad, thus heaping affront on affront, and adding insult to injury. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. [REUTEE?S TELEGRAMS.] AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE NOVA SCOTIAN. (Via Greencastle.) NEW YORK, DEC, 2 (Evening). General Schofield reports that on the 30th ult. he repulsed a heavy and persistent attack on Frank lin by two corps of Hood's army. The engage. went lasted from the afternoon till after dark. Hood was repulsed at all points, with a loss of probably 5,000 to 6,000 men. The Federal loss was one fourth of that number. 1,000 Confederate pri soners were captured. On the night of the 30th Schofield retired from Franklin, and formed a line of battle three miles south of Nashville. On the morning of the Ist inst. Hood's cavalry crossed the river above Franklin, closely following the Federals towards Nashville. Heavy skirmishing and a general engagement was expected. Reinforcements were arriving at Nashville, and the troops and Government employees were under arms in the for. tifications and trenches. Unofficial accounts represent that in the battle of the 30th ult., in the first charge of Hooa's troops, the Federals were driven back, but rallied and counter..charged the Confederates who had crossed over the Federal lines. The Federals then swung round on the Confederate flank and drove them in confusion. Some despatches estimate the Confede► rate loss at 3,000 men. Grant reports that the _Richmond Examiner of yesterday admits that Sherman had crossed the Oconnee river, and would succeed in reaching the FUN ALMANACK for 1866.

Richmond papers of the 29th ult, assert that it was well known in Richmond for several days that Sherman was baffled in his attempts to penetrate Georgia. He neither captured Macon nor threat ened Augusta, since during the last week he was unable to advance 10 miles, being harassed on his flank and rear and manfully resisted in front, and forced to avoid all important towns. Augusta papers of the 26th reiterate that Sher man had been repulsed in crossing the Oconnee river. Beauregard and Johnston were in Augusta on the 23d. Bragg has left Wilmington for Augusta with a large force. , A heavy Confederate force is concentrating from all quarters at Augusta. It is reported that Burnside has sailed from Fort Monroe with 20,000 men to meet Sherman. General Grant despatched Gregg's cavalry on a reconnaissance to ascertain if Lee was sending troops south. Gregg captured and destroyed Stoney Creek station and a quantity of stores, and afterwards retreated, followed by the Confederates towards the Federal camp. He obtained no infor. mation of troops passing southward. Resolutions have been submitted in the Confede• rate Congress to the effect that the South would, if shortly recognised by the North, unite with the North in maintaining the Monroe doctrine. If recognition was delayed,the South would abandon the Monroe doctrine in exchange for material ad. vantages for herself.

A battle took place on Wednesday, at Franklin, between a portion of Thomas and Hood's armies. The Confede rates drove the Baderals back and sealed their works, cap turing guns and prisoners. The Federals were subse quently reinforced, and recovered their ground, but evacuated the position, however, the same night, and re tired on Nashville, a distance of thirty miles. The Confe derates crossed Harpeth River next morning at the fords near Franklin, and were confronting Thomas yesterday. A great battle was believed imminent, and brisk skirmishing going on. General Wierts Adams and Pat Cleburne are reported among the Confederate killed at Franklin. Nothing reliable is known of the precise loss on either side in that battle, the published accounts being simply rumour. The Federals have evacuated Columbia, removing their wounded to Nashville, whore great excitement prevails. It is rumoured that Sherman'e main army crossed Oconee River and are now en route for the seacoast, leaving Au gusta behind. His advanced cavalry endeavoured to open communication with Beaufort, but were defeated and part captured. Lambton's cavalry from Virginia has arrived at Augusta, Bragg left Wilmington last week with several thousand troops for same point. Wheeler has 10,000 cavalry on Sherman's flank. Several hundred stragglers have arrived at Augusta as prisoners. The President of Georgia Senate is acting ex officio Governor in the eastern part of the State. A reconnoitring expedition from Grant's army captured and burnt the depot at Stoney Point. The Message from Governor Vance, North Carolina, opposes separate State action on the peace question. James Speed, Kentucky, is appointed Attorney-General, vice Holt, declined. A despatch from Nashville of the 2d states that the army has fallen back within the lines of the city. The Confederates are reported about three miles distant. A despatch from Richmond, of the Ist, states that one o Sherman's columns defeated the Confederates near Grins woldsville last week. The army is since reported to have gained forces. DEC. 3 (Evening). Judge Holt, of Kentu :ky (appointed Attorney-General), reports that the Confederate garrison at Wilmington has been sent to Georgia. Ihe World says the Federal armies and fleets are in motion, and the next two weeks promise to be the most eventful of the war, Bonds are now required of shippers of goods from New York to Nassau. General Thomas has evacuated Shelbyville, Kentucky. The :report that Pryor had announced the capture of Macon, Milledgeville, and Augusta are unfounded. Dahlgreen and Foster are said to be co-operating with Sherman. Thirteen thousand Federal prisoners attempted to escape from Salisbury, North Carolina, but failed. Confederate cavalry threaten the railway between Nashville and Chattanooga. Grant is preparing another heavy move ment against Richmond. A Federal expedition into Lower Louisiana captured 200 prisoners, and 3 guns. Magruder's forces are again re ported to be crossing the Mississippi to join Hood. The registration of the Southern refugees in New York already shows a falling of in their numbers. The Florida had still her guns on board when she went down.

It is in obedience to a delightful custom among our Royal Academicians—a custom (even within the view of the general public) most "honoured in the observance"—that immediately upon the elec tion of each Associate to that " blue ribbon" of Art, the dignity of R.A., he is expected, forthwith, to give some very signal and especial taste of his quality in the form of what is called his Diploma Picture. Having said which—we would here add, at once, that, precisely as we are accustomed to turn to the Diploma Picture of a Royal Academician Elect, we have just now turned to the examination of this new volume of Poems by Eliza Cook—a volume coming to us as refreshingly as might a bunch of violets on the eve of Christmas. It is only yesterday, as one may say, that our authoress received, from the nation, the most practical, if not the highest evidence of her popularity as a Na• tional Song-writer. During many years past— although her own life is still but in its prime —her simple, and heart-born, and many of them emi nently beautiful effusions have been " beloved as fable and believed as truth" far and wide among our English homesteads. But, while her reputa tion has thus undoubtedly become extended by the force of its own spontaneous expansion or de• velopment, its ultimate recognition by the " powers that be" has only been signalised, it will be remema bend, but very recently. Here in England, as the world knows, it is not our habit to crown a sonneteer in the Capitol. With us the sterling quality of a precious metal is attested by the hall mark. It is as if we weighed genius by avoirdupois. However the fact thus specified may chance to be regarded—such at any rate, in these matters, has long come to be our national habitude. According to which same custom of ours, it has now duly come to pass during this present year that the sterling gold of Eliza Cook's poetry has at length received, as we have- already expressed it, the na ,tional hall mark. Proffered to her in her high capacity as one of the People's Songwriters, she is henceforth authorised to receive annually from the coffers of the nation, through the hand of the Primo Minister, one of those honourable pensions from the Crown and Country, which (these pensions, we mean), when rightly regarded, ought to be looked upon far more in the light of a tribute than in the light of a largesse. And now, before the twelvemonth closes, as if in return for this thrice welcome evidence towards her of national appreciation, our authoress, precisely as the R. A. Elect might submit to consideration his Diploma Picture, places before us another and, in truth, a very signal taste of her quality as a Poet of the People, as a National Song-writer, in these "New Echoes' of hers—Echoes followed by upwards of Seventy "Other Poems" of a singularly miecel laneoua character. So that, really and truly, it might be said in regard to this particular one amongst the I:st batch of Pensions, that—even test ing its value by its consequences—it has already turned out for the nation a very excellent invest ment I Through it, we have even, it might be said, got(by wonderfully quick returns)our money'a worth, Scanning the volume, howbeit, purely as a work of art—the intrinsic value of which (that is, of a verit able work of art) it must at all times be almost impossible, if, indeed, it be not absolutely impose Bible, accurately to appraise—we are fain to drop, at once and for ever, these, for the moment, our whimsically chosen money-market metaphors— examining the book and its contents for such pre cisely as they are—as New Echoes from the lyre of I Eliza Cook : a lyre strung as it were by her very heartstrings. The opening poem among all these five-and-seventy—the poem which gives its distinc tive title to the volume—" New Echoes" to wit—a poem extending over some thirty-four pages, may be described as an amplification of what we are disposed to regard as the most famous first line of a first poem that ever was written I Meaning, thereby, the initial line of John Keats's maiden work " Endymion." A line enunciating a truth, of the veracity of which that line itself is its own most striking attestation ! Sang young Keats, i❑ that, the first and most world-famous among all his lovely verses— " 4 thing of beauty is a joy for ever"— the stripling author of " Eadymion," adding by way of enforcement to the exquisite thought therein expressed— _ " Its loveliness increases—it will never Pass into nothingness." Echoing this thought of John Keats, Eliza Cook herein expatiates upon it with delightful gusto—first of all oddly, whimsically, vivaciously—afterwards with a most tender and pE nsive appreciation of it in all its subtler aspects. Playing with it, as one may say, as a fountain might play with a roseate fruit or a blooming flower—the radiant thought ol Keats being here kept dancing upon the " jet" of her capricious verse, as a rose or an orange might above the spray of a fountain, there and then " shaking its loosened silver in the sun 1" Of her own peculiar quail• fications as a poetess, it ray be observed, that Eliza Cook has a sense as accurate as ever Horace had of his. "Have I not struggled," she asks, '" to be humbly just, And, like the glowworm gild my path of dust ? Have I not sought, with strong impassioned zeal, To leave a few enduring thoughts behind, That unborn ones may read; and, reading, Tea To be the life-sparks of an earnest mind ?" Throughout the book, moreover, there are evidences thst —true to her kind—if our authoress has intensely sung, she has also intensely suffered. Shelley's phrase —we all remember those pathetic words of his, in reference to the wholo race of poets, from the epic writer to the sonnetteer—Shelley's phrase runs thus affectingly— " They learn in suffering what they teach in song 1" And, certainly—if we are to judge from her own casually indicated, from her own purely incidental references to her individual expe riences—our authoress may be said, in bitterest truth, to have graduated with high honours while passing through the Academy of Tribulation. One while she blurts out to us the confession— I have encountered pain and trial, Griefs, disappointments, anguish, doubts and fears ; Fate has poured out on me her chastening vial, Melting my choicest pearls in acrid tears." At another her pathetic self-revelations come to us yet more tearfully where she laments— "No mote can my footsteps wander Through woodlands loved and dear; I gaze on the hill-tops yonder Through the mist of a hopeless tear. My spirit is worn and weary With waith:g for health and rest ; My long, long night is dreary, And my summer day unblest : My suffering darkens the noonlight, My anguish embitters the balm, My loneliness weeps in the moonlight, And sighs in the evening calm. Oh, Suffering's mournful story Must be wofully long and true, When it finds me noting God's glory, Bnt not as I used to do.". Even, where she is speaking apparently of another, it is herself, only too manifestly, that she has within her ken ; as, for example, where she writes in her " Sorrowful Summer Stanzas"— " I know a Soul whaso golden bowl Is Had, like the Year, with Life's rich dower, But Suffering weaves her shadowing leaves, And blights the prime of its fruit and flower," Among all these mournful introspective meditations the most plaintive, beyond all manner of question, however, is the one entitled, suggestively, " Lines:in the Twilight." Too long to admit of its being trans. ferred here in its entirety to our columns, it would be an injustice to mar the beauty of it as a whole by any mere fragmentary quotation. Commending it to the readers perusal, therefore, we would at once add that our authoress has at least her consolations. Has she not P Let her own exquisite celebre.tion of " Castle Lee—to our mind one of the most charming pieces in:the whole collection —answer and answer (so far as the sympathy of Friendship can enable it to do so) quite conclusively. Spon. taneously, almost, one might say, carelessly, to a certain extent unpremeditatedly, though she (sings—for those who have long learned to love her singing—these " woodnutes wild" hardly eve► even by a misplaced epithet) do we find her accent faltering into momentary error or dissonance. Once in a way, she may talk about (p. 163) disseettny the thunder, or at another instant, in the midst of a battle song (p. 158), bid a ball show its teeth—but —What heart-stirring War Songs can she not sing whensoever she lists! Ex. gr., one single stanza from her Tyrt Doan, " Stand to your Guns!" Though we launch no defiance, and offer no wrong; Red coats and blue j ickets shall be at their posts; And the light of bold hearts—steady, vivid, and strong, Shall keep Liberty's Watchfire alive on our coasts. Let the Rulers that dwell in the East or the South Com© with friendly saluting, and kindly we'll meet; But we'll show that Britannia has truth in her mouth; In our death-scorning " Guards" and our staunch " Chan- nel Fleet." Let us cherish our bulldog while petting our dove ; And be ready for storms 'neath the brightest of suns : With a cheer for our white cliffs, our homes, and our love; And a spirit determined to " Stand to our Gans 1" Here, however, is a War.song and a Pcace.song all in one—a National song worthy of having inscribed above it, as its motto, either Si vis pacem Para baton, or Seinper paratas !—a .patriotic effusion, not unworthy of the Poetess who has already given to her native land the noble song of " The Englishman" : HURRAH i FOR OUR RIFLRMEN ! Hurrah for our Riflemen I —Men of the Land I Who have sprung with a brave-hearted yearning; Not willing nor eager to kindle War's brand, But to guard what that brand might set burning. They have limbs for a march ; they have fronts for a blow, Show them laurels and see bow they'll win them; They have hands for a trigger and eyes for a foe-- That will prove the true Briton is in them. Then here's to the Groy, and the Green and the Blue, Never heed in what colour you find them, But be sure they'll be dyed a blood•red through and through, Ere the chain of a Despot shall bind them. Let them come from the plough, from the loom, and the forge, Let their bugles ring louder and louder, Lot the dark city street, and the deep foroet gorge, Prove that Labour wakes Valour the prouder. Let them dwell in sweet Peace, till a moment may come When the shot of an enemy rattle, And the spirits that clung the most fondly to home Will be first to rush forth in the battle. Then here's to the Grey, and the Green, and the Blue, Never heed in what colour you find them, But be sure they'll be dyed a blood-red through and through, Ere the chain of a Despot shall bind them. Intensely patriotic though she is, however, by nature, she has especial reason for asserting as she does here, at page 105— " And my patriot-love and my patriot-song To the children of Labour will ever belong." With them it is, among all her countrymen, that her large heart goes to the full. To them it is that her poetic sympathy is accorded unstintingly. She lingers with delight, it : is true, am ong th e beauties of nature. She can sing of filwers-- " Oh I flowers, come always round us in your bloom, apobtrophibing them, exquibitely, to the same breath as— " The daintiest weaving in Gad's marvellous loom I" She can exclaim with an exultation of delight when she sees— " • . . The lime tree flinging Its delicate green arms out, The fragrant jasmine clinging, And the woodbine running about." But,while her heart stirs within her at the infinitely beautiful sights and sounds, the lavishly abounding graces and charms of Nature—it seems to go out from her into her verse, when it is Human N a t ure that appet9s to her poetic) sympathies, in the guise of the lowly and the Humanity in any shape appeals potentially to her comprehensive susceptibilities, but most po tentially of all, in that—in the form, that is, of the very lowly and the very toilnworn. In behalf of the fallen and the grief.stricken her tender voice is ever raised upon occasion with an earnest solicitude. She saye herself—and, judging from her past and present poetry sho says it with full reason— " I have not looked upon my erring brothers As though I were of better stuff than they. I have not learned to note foul spots in others, Deeming my heart all crystal—theirs all clay." And it may be said, too, that any fellow-creature, however lowly, becomes, in manner, sublimated by her sympathies—embalmed in her verse (to borrow, here, by way of illustration, one of her own loveliest couplets)— " Like the poor insect—worthless, dead and dull, Till Memory's amber makes it beautiful." Still as of old, intermingled with all the pathetic beauties of her muse, Eliza Cook's verse abounds at intervals with touches of the subtlest humour, of the most innocent and exhilarating vivacity. Note in evidence of this—hardly so much a quaint quatrain like that in which she pencils old Gaffer Gray, pencils him in his complete individuality—with the whole idiocyncracy as it were, of that senile villager brought before us at a breath—instantaneously— " With a forehead mado of wrinkles, Carved in crosses, cranks and crinkleo, And a voice so thin and mumbling That his glee aught pass for grumbling." Hardly so much, we would say is her sense of humour evidenced even bysuch a comical silhouette as that—as, let us say, by her yet additional triumphs of art, here, as a dog-painter (in words) quite as inimi table as are (in pigments) either Mademoiselle Rosa Bonheur or Sir Edwin Landseer, Allusion being thus made not so much to her Lines addressed " To Bran"—though those are admirable.—patticularly in the serio-comic " refrain"— "'Tis pleasant to hear the wise ones utter The worth of your power and pace ; But why did you ai.allow the; pound of butter, DOG OF AN ANCIENT IiACE I " —as to the drollest effusion in the whole book, the one having a sort of a❑ odd kind of a half-pun in its very title, to wit, the " Doggrel Ditty" tebuuti —whom does the reader think?— DEARDLEMNI KEDLITM " My one grain of sense was oft deemed to be lost In a bushel of chaff from. Bedlam, When the creature came nigh that I used to accost With the greeting of Deardleum ',Zedlum " But somehow it never came into my head To say Kenneth' —the name ho was christened — lie was always styled Kenay,' or Keddle,' or Ked,' And he seemed to love each while he listened. " One called him ' Kentucky,' another Kenmuir,' So others had some touch of Bedlam, But the fondest of all that kind voices let fall Was liquid and musical (Kedlum."' And so on, throughout the whole of this delightful piece of gentle-hearted comicality—one that, relat ing as it does " only to a dog," yet lends an illus tration in its way to one of Eliza Cook's stanzas, occurring yet later on in the volume now under notice, in her poem on the " Germs of Greatness,'' where she says, and who is there who will not add, How truthfully I— " The Poet-chant may be a thing Of lightsome tone and word, But a living souni may dwell in the string That shall waken and warn as its echoes fling, Till untold hearts aro stirred." As its echoes fling—Yes, let us say it, in brief, as these same " NEW ECIIOES" of her own. Echoes that will long reverberate through many a scattered croft and homestead of old England, Echoes that will often vibrate in the hearts of those who in the intervals of labour, may come to nestle there under the thatch!

Those interested the progress of these studies were,thereforeesin eere r j e gratified when they heard, little more than 10 Y e te since, that Mr Boole, although not a member of aPof University, had been chosen to be the Professerw Mathematics at Cork.
